Abstract: In this article are researched the questions of the development of 
digitalization of labor migration in the world and how to implement this experience in 
Uzbekistan. As the world is increasingly relying on digital technology, digitalization 
can also play an important role in labour migration governance and protection 
mechanisms.
Key words. Digitalization of world labour migration, digital migration

induced by formal recruitment processes, which too often pushes many women and

systems and governance. Civil society organizations and other private and public actors 
are developing digital platforms that offer various support services to migrant workers 
in need.
While technology presents a great opportunity to make labour migration safer, 
more efficient, and more transparent, digitalization -as any tool- also involves risks, 
challenges, and unequal distribution of technological gains. For it to promote decent
